The Murray 629108X30A snow thrower was a prominent model in Murray's lineup, offering a balance of power and ease of use for homeowners dealing with moderate to heavy snowfall. Production years are estimated to be in the late 2000s/early 2010s.

Expect a throwing distance of up to 30-40 feet, depending on snow conditions. The drive system is typically wheel-driven, offering multiple forward speeds (usually 4-6) and reverse speeds (usually 1-2) for enhanced maneuverability. The chute control is typically manual, allowing users to adjust the direction and angle of the snow discharge. A headlight is often included for improved visibility during early morning or late evening snow removal. This model is ideally suited for paved driveways, sidewalks, and larger residential properties experiencing moderate to heavy snowfall.
